Don\u2019t sleep too much, be wakeful. Don\u2019t be lazy and let the kinsman of the negligent, the King of Death, catch you in his trap. Like a wave in the mighty ocean, rebirth and old age sweep you under. Make a safe island of yourself, for you have no other shelter. The teacher has mastered this path, which transcends chains, <j>and the fear of birth and old age. Be diligent in the first and final watches of the night, and dedicate yourself to practice. Free yourself from your former bonds! Wearing your outer robe, with shaven head, <j>eating almsfood, don\u2019t delight in play or sleep, dedicate yourself to absorption, K\u0101tiy\u0101na. Meditate and conquer, K\u0101tiy\u0101na, you\u2019re an expert in the path <j>to sanctuary  from the yoke. Having arrived at unexcelled purity, you\u2019ll be extinguished as a flame by water. A lamp of feeble flame is bent down by the wind, like a creeper; just so, kinsman of Indra, shake off M\u0101ra, without grasping. Free of lust for feelings, await your time here, cooled.","title":"K\u0101tiy\u0101na","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":177}
